Despite incessant rhetoric by the NH DoE to the contrary, there is no "voluntary" compliance with Common Core according to the NH ESEA Flexibility [NCLB Waiver], signed and dated on Sept. 6, 2012 by Governor Lynch and Commissioner Virginia Barry. See page 166-67. Also, the Common Core SCIENCE Standards will be developed this coming year. www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/esea-flexibility/map/nh.html By District: New Hampshire districts are at varying developmental stages in their experience and practice with performance assessments that are standards-aligned. Therefore, we propose that roll-out by district take place in three stages, with an early adopter group of districts selected to start up in 2013-2014, a second cohort to launch in 2014-2015, and the final cohort in 2015-2016. The early adopter and middle cohort districts would be districts who volunteer to participate, with the remaining districts falling into the third and final cohort. In the following timeline, we propose a development year prior to the start of each of three cohorts of districts. The staggered roll-out supports starting with a smaller cohort of districts in order to experience success which can be used to guide subsequent district cohorts.
